4channers immediately jumped on board, likening the idea to October's #baldforbieber hoax, which encouraged Beliebers to shave their head to support their hero after a fake news report surfaced, claiming the Canadian singer had cancer.

@Kellydu85's account popped up at 10:44am EST Monday morning and posted this photo after two tweets about Justin Bieber.

"Make a Twitter account that looks like a Bieber fan," one 4channer wrote. "Post it here. Follow each other. We need to make this look legit."

The hashtag #cutforbieber went worldwide shortly thereafter, inspiring gruesome cutting episodes grotesque enough to make you lose your lunch. It became the most popular hashtag on Twitter some time around 2:30pm.
